People, do we call this trying?

We're hopeless, forget the denying

Our souls are corrupt

Our minds are messed up

Our consciences, bankrupt

Oh, we're fucked.

People, what are we thinking?

It's shameful, our standards are sinking

We're barely hanging on

Our spirit has gone

And once where it shone

I hear a lonesome song.

People, how are we coping?

It's futile to even start hoping

That justice will prevail

That truth will tip the scales

Our dignity has sailed

Oh, we've failed.
